move - Where is your wife?

Yesterday went to bring my boxed to my new apartment and my new neigbors took the opportunity to inquisite me about the questions that are considered to be most important. Where is your wife? How much do you pay for your apartment.
I was helped by a couple of friends who had long-term experience in the warehouse of a state-owned factory. They are the best help you can get when you have to move stuff and unpack it in a place where there is very little room. They already scolded me and said I paid too much for my new place, on a ten minute walk from Xujiahui subway station. Too expensive, is the most often used phrase in Shanghai. "You have been cheated".
Fortunately, my neighbors were on my side. They think I pay a fair price, since the building is already ten years old (and it looks pre-liberation), but I'm having one of the better apartments.
